How to Use a Campfire

Campfires have a light level of 15, and they light up as soon as the player places them. To extinguish a fire, you should douse them with water or use a shovel. To ignite it again, you will need flint and steel, a flaming arrow, or another fiery attack. Raw food can be put on a fire to cook. One item can be placed in each corner, allowing four items to be cooked at the same time. Food is cooked in 30 seconds.

What Kinds of Campfires Can Be Created?

Minecraft players can create a soul fire by replacing coal or charcoal with soul. These bonfires glow blue instead of the usual orange. They emit less light. The illumination level there is 10 instead of 15.

Players can turn a campfire into a smoke signal by adding one shelf of hay. Common bonfires send smoke up to 10 blocks into the air. When the hay is added, the smoke rises 24 blocks.

Also, a musical instrument can be used around the fire. When placed under a note block, it creates a bass tone.
